Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

The next day.

Even though she wasn't at home, Su Xia still got up early as usual and went to the hotel gym to work out for a while.

After having breakfast, we arrived at CJ Entertainment around 9 a.m.

The second basement level is a dedicated parking area for celebrities.

This is a separate parking area for artists and CJ Entertainment staff, which is one of the ways to minimize the risk of fan raids.

"The second basement level is the staff canteen, where artists can also eat for free. The dressing room for changing into stage costumes is also here," Lao Jin, the work assistant, explained to Su Xia, introducing the basic functions of each floor of the CJ Entertainment Building.

Su Xia listened while waiting for the elevator.

They used the artist-only elevator, which was separate from the staff elevator. Only artists could use it, and even staff members of the artist's team could not use it unless an artist swiped their card.

The internet celebrities signed by CJ MCN are also considered artists, while Su Xia's work card is classified as an artist. This is a special case for collaborators.

"Boss, shall we go to the third floor or the twelfth floor?" Old Jin asked Su Xia as they entered the elevator.

The third floor houses artist practice rooms and professional practice rooms, while the twelfth floor consists of simple rest and waiting rooms, as well as dressing rooms and styling rooms.

"Let's go back to the waiting room, Chestnut hasn't arrived yet," Su Xia said casually.

He sent Liz a message this morning, but hasn't received a reply yet.

Kim Tae-yeon said that she was probably still asleep.

When celebrities don't have any scheduled activities, they often disappear in the morning.

"OK."

While riding the elevator, Su Xia opened Yin Fu and saw the promotional video that her main account had updated.

"At 7:00 PM on June 15th, lawyer Su Xia will join forces with IVE member Liz for a live stream to silence the doubters with their singing!"

The accompanying background image is a picture of Su Xia and Liz practicing singing in the vocal practice room yesterday.

Su Xia raised an eyebrow.

When was this taken secretly?

I didn't notice at all.

It's only been a few minutes since it was posted, and the number of comments has already exceeded one thousand.

Upon clicking, one finds a uniform collection of users with profile pictures related to Liz and IVE.

I scrolled down a bit before I saw users with Kim Tae-yeon's profile picture and other idols' profile pictures.

Aside from a few discordant voices, the comments were mostly from users using K-pop idol avatars, and the number of people booking the live stream was constantly increasing, which reassured Su Xia somewhat.

It seems this move was the right one.

Continue scrolling down.

"Just got back from Chestnut's Instagram. Hey streamer, what does 'Chestnut Pastry Team' mean? @LawyerSuXia (Taeyeon's mentor)"

Su Xia thought for a moment and then clicked "Reply".

"Li is chestnut, and Su is a homonym for Su Xia's surname."

After replying, I turned off the note. Anyway, I was using a secondary account, so it didn't matter.

Before long, Su Xia arrived at her waiting room.

Although he wasn't based in Seoul, CJ Entertainment had plenty of rooms and provided Su Xiaoteng with a waiting room in just one day.

Although some things are not yet in place, for Su Xia, who has never even had a private office, this is already a very good treatment.

Looking around his own waiting room with curiosity.

"Your waiting room is even bigger than mine," Kim Tae-yeon's sour voice came over.

"Huh?" Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon in surprise. "Really?"

"I'm talking about the very beginning," Kim Tae-yeon explained, gesturing with her hand. "When I first debuted, the practice room was at most two-thirds the size of yours."

"But this is a waiting room, not a practice room."

Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes.

"Is it possible that our waiting room and practice room are the same thing?"

Su Xia was stunned for a moment, then thought of the several artist practice rooms on the third floor that were even bigger than the waiting room...

"Are the three major K-pop groups really that poor?"

"Compared to CJ, it is indeed as poor as a beggar."

"It's alright. I'm just a student surpassing their teacher. Isn't it expected that the apprentice will be better than the master? Otherwise, what's the point of teaching students?"

"I'm teaching you so you can take care of me in my old age, oh wait, I mean, take me home!"

"Are you seeing someone off at their funeral? I'll buy you a watch later," Su Xia said cheerfully. "What kind of clock do you want? A gold one or a silver one?"

"Get lost!" Kim Tae-yeon said irritably. "By the way, do you trade stocks?"

"I don't understand these things."

"Want to learn? I know... um, look at several stocks." Kim Tae-yeon quickly stopped herself, almost saying the wrong thing again.

"I won't learn," Su Xia shook her head. "What if you suddenly disappear one day? What will happen to my money?"

Kim Tae-yeon sighed and facepalmed.

"Then you should buy gold. It's bound to go up in price, and you can sell it directly when you're short of money."

"That's a good idea," Su Xia nodded in agreement.

The woman in front of him, who was gnawing on Thai food, probably knew the direction of the stock market, but she left at some point. Su Xia didn't trust his own self-discipline. After witnessing the stock market's money-printing ability, he would still be unable to resist entering the market even without Kim Tae-yeon.

Sooner or later, they'll lose everything.

The probability of this happening is very high, so Su Xia simply won't go in!

In terms of financial management, Su Xia's main focus is on extreme stability.

Did Liz reply to you?

"No." Su Xia glanced at her phone and shook her head.

"Let's go then, let's practice our voices first."

"OK".

……

Liz's message didn't arrive until after 10 o'clock.

She indicated that she had just woken up and was washing up.

As expected, celebrities don't have mornings.

By the time Su Xia met Liz, it was already eleven o'clock.

Perhaps because she arrived in a hurry, Liz didn't wear a full face of makeup today, just a light touch, but she was still stunningly beautiful, with a clean and elegant overall look.

The top is a white halter-neck cropped tank top, the exposed skin design highlighting the neat lines of the shoulders and neck.

She paired it with an irregular black and white striped mini skirt, featuring Adidas logo details. The sporty striped elements combined with the asymmetrical cut of the skirt hem create a look that is both casual and stylish.

To be fair, Adiwang is quite popular among celebrities.

"Mianye, I slept too late yesterday and didn't get up today." Liz bowed and apologized as soon as she saw Su Xia.

God knows how stunned she was when she opened her eyes and saw the message Su Xia sent at around 7 a.m.

They waited for a full three hours!

"It's okay, I'm just used to waking up early and didn't consider your schedule." Su Xia waved her hand dismissively. "Let's set a time. You can check your schedule and decide whether it's morning or afternoon."

"Ten o'clock in the morning?" Liz breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Xia wasn't angry, and asked tentatively.

If possible, she would like to come at one or two o'clock, but Su Xia said that she wakes up at seven o'clock every day, so it is obviously impossible for her to come in the afternoon.

"Okay." Su Xia nodded. "If there's a scheduling conflict, we'll reschedule."

Anyway, he's been staying in Seoul all this time.

"Okay." Liz breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Xia had agreed.

"Get ready, let's begin."

"it is good."
